Multiple trips to China, Chinese influence&#8230;we don&#8217;t need a Russia-type\u00a0 dossier on him, we know he is already a pro-Chinese idealogue.<\/p>\n<p>But Kamala hasn&#8217;t drawn quite the scrutiny&#8230;until now.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ron Busby, who has visited the Biden-Harris White House dozens of times and is the longtime president of the U.S. Black Chambers, met with several CCP officials during a previously unreported trip to China, a Fox News Digital review found.<\/p>\n<p>The delegation&#8217;s trip in September 2017 was supported by the Consulate General of the People&#8217;s Republic of China in New York, a Chinese government entity in New York that serves as a mouthpiece for the CCP and was recently implicated in an unsealed indictment against a top former aide to New York&#8217;s Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul. The New York in China Center, which has offices in New York and Shanghai, was the official sponsor of the trip.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Finding out that the Consulate General is a government mouthpiece is not news&#8230;it is a branch of the government,regardless of whose country they Consulate General for, right?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Busby&#8217;s Facebook profile is littered with photos from the trip, which included a &#8220;selfie&#8221; of him flying to China with the caption, &#8220;On the way to China. Spreading the voice of Black businesses around the globe.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Still more or less innocent&#8230;hell, I&#8217;ve been to China multiple times and only did business.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A 2022\u00a0<u>&#8220;BLACKprint&#8221; report\u00a0<\/u>released by Busby\u2019s &#8220;U.S. Black Chambers&#8221; touted &#8220;Black entrepreneurs&#8221; getting access to &#8220;global business opportunities&#8221; and said they have &#8220;signed Memorandum of Understandings with business leaders in Durban, Morocco, and China.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Busby&#8217;s position as the president of the U.S. Black Chambers makes him an influential business leader not only in the Black community, but he has been able to leverage his position to participate in meetings with top U.S. government officials, including President Biden, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Vice President Harris, among others on behalf of his group.<\/p>\n<p>Harris &#8220;hosted an exclusive reception at her private residence&#8221; in July of this year to honor Black business leaders, according to a press release. The reception was in partnership with U.S. Black Chambers, Inc and featured Busby, who said the reception was a &#8220;powerful acknowledgment of the remarkable progress Black business leaders have achieved in shaping our nation\u2019s economic landscape.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Busby\u2019s participation in a delegation meeting with a representative of People&#8217;s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries is likely to face scrutiny due to the U.S. government\u2019s repeated warnings about the group over the years. In 2020, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo\u00a0<u>released a press statement<\/u> warning it is a &#8220;Beijing-based organization tasked with co-opting subnational governments&#8221; that &#8220;has sought to directly and malignly influence state and local leaders to promote the PRC\u2019s global agenda.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I suppose he could ignore something from a Trump department, right?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A<u> 2022 <\/u><u>report<\/u> from the Biden administration\u2019s Director of National Intelligence (DNI) also warned about the group and highlighted how U.S.-based Chinese consulates like the one that sponsored Busby\u2019s trip to China &#8220;play an active role&#8221; in &#8220;foreign influence operations&#8221; on behalf of the CCP, which was the case with Hochul&#8217;s former deputy chief of staff, who was coordinating with the Consulate General of the People&#8217;s Republic of China in New York.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Cheng Xiangmin expressed thanks to the New York Center for its long-term work and efforts in establishment of friendship between the two cities, and said he looked forward to strengthening communication with the \u2018New Majority\u2019 Alliance and further cooperation in various fields such as science and technology, health care and education,&#8221; the report said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. John Wang said that the signing of the memorandum of friendship between the Songjiang District and the Bronx was a major step forward in the future cooperation,&#8221; the report continued. The New York Center is willing to help Songjiang and the Bronx to develop more channels to cooperate, such as exchanging medical education resources between Einstein Medical School and Shanghai Medical Colleges\/Schools; as well as building exchange programs for the Montefiore Medical Center and the medical facilities in Songjiang.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thought we had enjoyed enough medical exchange with the Chinese? Busby seems to be in bed with the Chinese&#8230;.and Kamala praises him as &#8221; an &#8220;extraordinary leader&#8221; who has exhibited &#8220;courageous leadership.&#8221; Harris also called Busby her &#8220;Oakland brother&#8221; during another event in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I guess they get a few points for being overt with one of our biggest rivals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve been hearing about Tim Walz&#8217; Sinophile leanings for some time.
